like the looks of him Polux and cannot wait to see what magic you work on him, ;)

He looks like he's saying

"Oi! You can't park there!" ;)
 
Nice subject Polux, something different. The chain mail and iron face mask is interesting to see. The mask protected the crew member from hot shrapnel or tank splinters caused by enemy fire. Early tanks were very prone to being hit as they were cumbersome and slow. Given the poor ventilation and confined working space the mask must have been terrible to wear.

Interesting reply Joe. I always asking myself why they wear those "terrifying" masks...O_o
 
I did not know that Joe, was thinking he had his times mixed up and was still medieval :rolleyes: lol

the shades and tones, on jacket,pants and the lower half are great, ;)

Yep and even paint chips use to be a hazard to the crews faces...m.g bullet hits would cause hot paint chips to fly around the tank like razor blades.There was a show on History channel about the first tanks.

Nice work on this Polux mate,that jacket looks really authentic.
